Unfortunately I've tried Cat Attract. Our vet (he's such a dear man) gave us a couple big bags as samples. We tried them, we tried different litters, we've tried non scented, we've tried all natural (that's what I like best). He, according to the pet psychic, hates the feel of the litter between his paws. She's had many talks with him, and told him how much it hurts his family that he goes pee outside his box. This has been an ongoing issue with Minion for over 2 years now. He started in my rental house, and he's been doing it ever since. He peed all over the carpet in our new house that we bought, but it wasn't a huge deal because we had plans to get the carpets ripped up and the hardwood treated, which we did, just sooner then we had planned because we couldn't stand the smell of cat pee in our living room.
I know it's not easy to rehome a cat that pees all over the place, that's why I said it was a long shot. I would never hide the fact that he doesn't like to pee in his box. From those of you who don't know the story of Minion, he was a declawed stray that I took in. I blame the declawing for his behavior, but it's not something I can take back. Some lazy person had his claws removed and then moved out of my old apartment complex without him. there's nothing we can do about it now, but his behavior problems are here to stay and I've tried everything imaginable to fix it and it's just not going away.
I love him more then anything. He's my soul-mate. I am well aware that a pet is a lifetime committment, if anyone knows this, I do. I am a wonderful doggie and kitty mom, always have been, always will be. I took him in and worked with him and figured that with the right tools, we could fix the problem. It's not working. I have emailed the pet psychic again and asked her for any help. The pet psychic is in love with Minion. She said he has the most precious temeperment she's ever seen in a cat. She loves how easy-going he is and how happy he is. He has no 'catatude'. He simply does it because he hates the way the litter feels between his toes, regardless of the type of litter we provide him. He's not angry. He's not spiteful. He's not trying to 'tell me anything' by doing it. He simply should not have been declawed, which, in my opinion, no cat should be.
So....longshot, but if anyone wants to work with him, they'd be getting a very, very precious cat. If not, then we will set up a nice bed outside and he'll come in only when we're home and awake. He seems to do the majority of peeing in our bathroom on the rug when we're asleep. If the rug is in the wash from him peeing on it the previous night, and there's a towel on the ground, he'll pee on the towel. Sofar he's done the majority of his peeing in the bathroom only since we've had the carpets removed.
Here's a recent pic of him. Not the greatest pic, but it's a pic:
